Arsenal By Numbers.

Source : http://arsenal-mania.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=111761

Not exactly a game, more like a parlor discussion. Or even a Ray Parlour discussion.

Make your picks for the best player to wear each uniform number (or "squad number," if you prefer) for Arsenal.

I'll start with a list that is far from definitive, since most of you have supported this team for longer than I have, and are likely to remember some players I may have missed.

This list is based on success, longevity, and general we-loved-the-bloke-ness.

1 David Seaman
2 Lee Dixon
3 Eddie Hapgood (had to get one REAL old-timer in there)
4 Patrick Vieira
5 Frank McLintock
6 Tony Adams
7 Robert Pires (Brady wasn't here all that long, remember)
8 George Graham (managing achievement puts him ahead of Wright)
9 John Radford (I could be talked into Ted Drake or Alan Smith)
10 Dennis Bergkamp
11 Charlie George
12 Perry Groves
13 Alex Manninger (fill-in for Seaman, Old Trafford '98)
14 Thierry Henry (Who'd you expect, Martin Hayes?)
15 Ray Parlour
16 Aaron Ramsey
17 Eduardo "Edu" Gaspar
18 Pascal Cygan (until Squillaci's here a while)
19 Jack Wilshere (yes, already)
20 (this space available)
21 (this space available -- can't pick Fabianski yet)
22 Gaël Clichy
23 Andrey Arshavin (hold on, I have a place for Sol)
24 John Lukic (2nd time around)
25 Nwankwo Kanu (NOT Adebayor)
26 (this space available)
27 Emmanuel Eboue
28 Kolo Touré
29 Marouane Chamakh (yes, already)
30 Jeremie Aliadiere
31 Sol Campbell (2010)
32 through 36 (these spaces available)
37 David Bentley (not easy to type while holding your nose)
38 (this space available)
39 (this space available)
40 Kieran Gibbs (due to Kolo having 28)
41 through 51 (these spaces available)
52 Nicklas Bendtner
53 through 56 (these spaces available)
57 Cesc Fábregas (trick question, I suppose)
58 and anything higher (these spaces available)
